Generating SV-6b reports for publishing services (ABM for DoDAF)
In a net-centric architecture prescribed by DoDAF 1.5, the SV-6 workproduct is used to present service data exchanges modeled in the SV-1, specific information of the service data content, and how it is implemented in the net centric architecture. You can generate an SV-6b report that describes, in a tabular format, the structure of each service data exchange such as availability, capacity, latency, reliability, information assurance, size, format, periodicity, and security.
2 In the SV-6B Report Settings dialog box, in the Available Properties list, select properties to publish for each service.
3 To move the selection to the Selected Properties list, click the > arrow.
You can use the up and down arrows to specify the order that the properties are published for each Service.
4 Click Run.
Result
An Excel spreadsheet is generated that lists all services, and the values of all properties for each service, as shown in the following image.
